“One of the biggest questions we’ve gotten in the last few years is ‘When are you going to make a Ratchet & Clank movie?’,” Insomniac Games community lead James Stevenson said in a statement. “The truth is we’ve wanted to do a movie for a long time! Ratchet & Clank’s action, humor and galaxy-spanning adventures have really been the basis for a fantastic game series, and we think it’d translate perfectly to the big screen.”

Thankfully Insomniac Games will have a “hands-on role” during the production, animation consulting, character development and screenplay. Also, the original Ratchet & Clank writer T.J Fixman will be writing the script for the movie just like he did for all of the Ratchet & Clank titles.
